PRODUCT: 5052 ALUMINUM ALLOY PLATE

Aluminum 5052 is a 5000-series aluminum alloy with higher amount of magnesium content comparing
with 5005, and it is one of the higher strength non-heat treatable alloys (Annealed it is stronger than 1100,
3003 and 5005). Alloy 5052 has excellent characteristics with a high fatigue strength it is used for
structures which are subject to excessive vibrations. As 5052 also has excellent corrosion resistance,
especially in marine atmospheres, and it is therefore commonly used in boats, marine components, fuel
and oil tubing.

OTHER PROPERTIES:

Principal Design Features This is a non-heat treatable alloy that is weldable. It is hardened by cold
work. It has good forming characteristics and good corrosion resistance,
including resistance to salt water.
Machinability This alloy has relatively fair machinability. It is easier to machine in the hard
temper than as annealed and the quality of finish is better if machined in the
hard condition. Oil lubricants should be used for machining, except that very
light cuts may be done dry.
Forming Aolly 5052 is readily formed at room temperature. Successive cold working
decreases the formability.
Weldability This alloy is readily welded by conventional methods. When filler rod is
required it should be aluminum alloy 5356 as filler. Either tungsten or
consumable electrode inert gas shielded arc welding is preferred method.
Heat Treatment Alloy 5052 cannot be hardened by means of heat treatment. It does harden
due to cold working.
Hot Working This alloy has excellent cold working characteristics such that hot working
should not normally be necessary. However it may be hot worked in the
temperature range of 260°C to 510°C.

Cold Working The alloy cold works readily and may be formed by drawing or spinning.
However the amount of cold work imparted by spinning makes intermediate
annealing necessary.
Annealing Annealing, if required, may be done at 345°C, followed by air cooling.

Aging Not applicable to this alloy.

Hardening Only cold working will cause hardening (strengthening) of this alloy as it
does not harden by heat treatment.

APPLICATIONS

Typical Applications Alloy 5052 is typically used for:

Tread plate, boiler making, containers, nameplates, road signs, architectural
paneling, chemical industry, irrigation
desalination units, pressure vessels, rivets, hydraulic tubes, kitchen
cabinets, small boats, home freezers, milk crates, welded tubes, aircraft
tube, fencing, and appliances. It is also commonly used in sheet metal work
and in sheet metal parts.

PACKAGING, HANDING & STORAGE:

Package: Packed in waterproof Kraft, fastened by steel straps on wood pallets,

suitable for handling, loading and unloading from the trunks or containers,
suitable for export ocean forwarding.
Handling: Prevent the goods hurting the people who are moving, loading, unloading,
especially pay attention to the rolling and dropping for the coils.
Storage: Stored in indoor area on plain floor, free away from moisture, water, snow,
animal oils and dye wastes, avoid storing with acid or basic chemical goods.

The above mentioned aluminum product is produced according to national standard specifications, and has
no poison, no pollution, and no cauterization. It is common industry metal material.
